Nude on a Staircase

The next morning, after those delicious dreams about Coconuts, Pizza and Rose water, Betty’s cousin Eva was walking down the stairs like Ema in Gerhard Richter’s famous photography painting from 1966, looking for something to get dressed. So, we were almost ready to drive to Big Sur, having lunch with friends in the Bakery.  The simple … Continue reading

Love takes me to far away places (4): Exciting villages

Glamour, excitement and living on the countryside was not the picture perfect match, so far. But this is changing from now on. First of all: my love and I will be in rural Alsace again this winter. Second: the Mayan Calendar is ending on October 28, 2011. Didn’t get the point yet, right? Lets ask … Continue reading

Love takes me to far away places (3): Dolomite Alps

On your way back from Bologna, Modena and Parma to Innsbruck or Munich you have to stay in Suedtirol near Bozen in the most pretty and basic Bauhaus-Guesthouse in the old world. Pension Briol is located at an attitude of 1310 m – a incredible location with a spectacular view to the Dolomites. Do not miss the … Continue reading

Love takes me to far away places (2): Lago Maggiore

Bella Italia. In the South of Switzerland. After passing the never ending Gotthard tunnel and heading to Bellinzona. Then make a right to Locarno. Sitting on the market there in August when it gets dark, watching the best films of the Festival at the open-air screening space on the astonishing Piazza Grande. That time it’s hard … Continue reading

Love takes me to far away places (1)

Back from Sunset Blvd and the bubbles of phantasy I went to bed, dreaming of far away places in Mexico (1), in France and Italy – what a wonderful inner and outer journey. This summer. With my love. Like sunset and sunrise. Always. So delightful, so light. Far away and soo close. Like being at home. … Continue reading

Sunset by night

Delicious German bread in the city of angels – that’s like heaven on earth, looking down on Sunset Blvd from our terrace on the top of the world. All the lights there, and memories of  Jim Jarmusch’s film “Night on Earth”. I grab my favorite Nikkon and a taxi with no roof, a red-and-blue colored parrot … Continue reading

Bread, beer, cars…

Back home. I am starving after swimming and diving in the sea. German bread, I read,  is so addictive that ex-pats and German visitors will go to great lengths to find it abroad. My love is a gifted chef and author with an amazing food blog and was born in Germany. So – I am a … Continue reading

Aquarians

Betty and the Blue Hour were gone with the wind, back to the sea, to Atlantis, chewing the moon. Diving through my memory, looking for soulmates, relaxing and having fun with other mermaids, like dolphins. Lifting the veil for moments, for pictures. Of where we come from. The Big Blue. Cool film, by the way. … Continue reading

Betty Blue

On my way home from the French Riviera, it was getting dark, nothing left than one roll in my old Mamiya camera, when I saw her, turning wheels, wearing a blue bathrobe and white skin. In the blue hour, between light and dark – 15 colorfull shots for eternity. With Betty.

Sea of love

Went to the sea for a swim. To Laguna Beach. The French Riviera, in CA. Très jolie. Surfing with the other childs in the waves, getting bigger in the late afternoon. Just fun. And cooling. The heat of this sunny day in August. Remembering times at university going with my beauteous fellow students to the … Continue reading
